Himalayan Kitchen 227 3rd Street, San Rafael, CA 94901

"Absolutely authentic and marvelous cuisine. We tried it once and came back many times with friends and family. The staff are attentive and warm. We just tried their lunch menu. It is so affordable and mind-blowing good. I recommend the spicy chicken fried rice. The fried rice is so fresh and definitely cooked with love. Don't listen to my words, go and try it yourself."

"Top three dining experience in 2022-3: outstanding Nepalese cuisine that is super delicate, fragrant, flavorful, and complex. The confluence of all these things make every dish exceptional. Unassuming at first, but you taste soon enough that every bite is telling a story, and somehow you have nostalgia of something you never experienced. It's like missing a place you've never called home, or tasting a small piece of history you've never partaken. The lentil soup, pakora, Kukhura bhanta, and Baingan bhartha were super, super brilliant. I don't know the last time I was so genuinely excited to find a restaurant, where I loved every single dish, and wanted to try every other menu."

"We have been regulars at the Himalayan Kitchen Marin ever since it opened. We love the food, the service and the ambience. GREAT NEWS!!! They now have a Lunch Menu that was outstanding in terms of quality, quantity and price. We highly recommend that you support this family run business that offers an authentic Himalayan dining experience - you won't be disappointed!"

"Himalayan Kitchen truly impressed us with its Nepalese culinary journey, attentive service, and cozy atmosphere. It’s an excellent choice for a special night out. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of the authentic Tibetan Nepalese taste in the beautiful ride of highway 101. It was easy to find, and parking was convenient. The pricing was justified by the quality and portion sizes of the dishes. We’ll definitely be returning soon."

"This place is a hidden gem. The people are so nice and attentive. The restaurant overall looks clean and organized. The many is simple and with variety of dishes. I order the Chicken Marsala and I was so surprised by the explosion of condiments hitting my taste buds in my mouth. It was I can taste every spice but was not so overwhelmed by any of them super well balanced and with a fresh essence to all. The mango chutney is my favorite and at this restaurant they know how to make it right. I’m definitely making it my place to go for Indian cuisine. Oh and the butter nut squash soup was simple yet so furling. Cooked fresh to order and served hot on the stop, I love it."
